Virginia Governor’s Race Heats Up As Republican Winsome Sears Does a Hard Reboot of Her Campaign
By Teri Christoph | 6:30 PM on July 17, 2025

We are long overdue for an update on the gubernatorial race in Virginia, where Republican Winsome Sears, the commonwealth's current lieutenant governor, is taking on Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who served from 2019 to 2024 in the U.S. House of Representatives, so let's get down to it.

As a reminder, the current Republican governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, cannot run for consecutive terms, so he's not on the ballot this year. And Virginia is one of two states, the other being New Jersey, that have off-year elections. It's not the most high-stakes of election cycles, but the results certainly could provide clues about how each party will fare in next year's critical midterms.

I wrote a few months back about how the Virginia GOP's statewide ticket got off to a rocky start after reports emerged that Youngkin wanted John Reid, the lieutenant governor nominee (who happens to be gay), to withdraw from the race over some questionable social media content. Reid denied the content was his and has weathered that storm just fine. So, the the November ticket is set:

    Governor: Winsome Earle-Sears
    Lieutenant Governor: John Reid
    Attorney General: Jason Miyares (incumbent)

Despite the initial strife, the three candidates appeared together earlier this month at a rally in Northern Virginia—traditionally an electoral weak spot for the GOP due to the large number of federal workers who live there—in a show of unity. And a united front is something they're going to need, based off the results of a recent Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) poll showing the entire ticket running behind their Democrat counterparts.

Fishrrman "well, somebody's got to say it™" prediction:

Ms. Winsome Sears is going to lose.

She wasn't born in the USA, right...?

And of course, there's the "race/gender" factor. Like it or not, that can still matter to folks in the southern and southwestern areas of the state. It is what it is.

Glen Youngkin's probably going to be a "one election wonder".
Can't even run for a second term.
Why the heck does Virginia have a state law like this?
(could it have been Reconstruction era, pushed by the dems?)

EDIT:
I posed the question to perplexity.com, and it say that this goes all the way back to 1851, a state constitutional amendment.
Hmmm...
I'm going to GUESS that back then, VA was indeed controlled by the democrats of the day...

The left-wing Spanberger may as well be Canadian. What a disaster she'll be, if elected.

Winsome Earle-Sears
@winwithwinsome
Abigail Spanberger calls it a “distraction” when local police work with ICE to remove criminals.

Spanberger is not fond of the Second Amendment.

Expect more of this - and worse - if Spanberger is elected.

A Loudon County, VA school has SUSPENDED multiple boys who were uncomfortable with sharing their locker room with a female who is pretending to be male:

In a recent poll, the d-communist is at 48% and 7 points ahead of Ms. Sears.

Ms. Sears will probably "get a little closer", but she's still gonna lose.

The northern/eastern section of the state may be a bit more "modern", but the deep southwestern part still has a good number of "de ol' white folks", and they won't be voting for Sears.

Will the Pubbies be smarter (it's called "realpolitik") next time...?
Or will there BE "a next time" for them in Virginia...?

When does the Virginia GOP plan on endorsing Spanberger?

So the first thing @SpanbergerForVA will do is make Virginia a magnet for illegals.
Virginia, are you paying attention?
